The most repeated thread topics *or* posts?

Let’s hope not…there was a thread awhile back that alleged Bigfoot was actually taking and raping people. And that ain’t slander…I said alleged.

Edit to add: Squatch Thread Link

This was the latest news I heard about bigfoot:

Hey guys! Long time lurker, first time poster. Excited to be a part of of the Rokslide team.
My father, brother in law, and myself are planning our first big game hunt “Out West”.
Here’s some of the things I’m working on and need some help/guidance with:
I’m an adult onset elk hunter who grew up in a single mother family and the only time I was ever in the woods was in the 4th grade when I joined the Cub Scouts… so I need some help figuring out my “layering system”. Since we’re either hunting the desert SW in September, or late November elk in MT, or possibly mid fall in South Central ID, what is a “do it all” combo?
I’ve heard the ticks are nothing to joke about, so I’m planning on getting that stuff that they don’t like and soaking all of my gear in it. Question I have though, is I hear the smell of that permithian, or whatever it’s called, actually attracts grizzly bears. I already have pepper spray that I plan on packing, but should I carry a pistol too? If so, what carry system is your go to? I don’t think a chest harness will work for me because my bino harness is already currently 32lbs. I have everything from my Vortex, to my 750ml titanium cup, to my sunglasses, windometer, rangefinder, GPS, laptop with ballistic calculator program, cell phone, hearing protection, fire starter, a couple Jolly Ranchers and a knife that weighs .04oz mounted into the system. Any suggestions?
Next would be where to go. Not looking for anyone’s honey holes. I’ve been scouring the internet, watching all the meticulously groomed, metrosexual, 3rd generation, exclusive private land outfitter’s YouTube thing’s learning everything I can learn via the net. I also just received my Master’s degree from Go Hunt Dot Com in e-scouting (I actually have already spotted several outfitter wall tents, 32 elk, a nice mulie, 6 squirrels and a guy in blaze orange taking a shit). So… here’s my question. In unit 12, in MT, in the Steep Cr drainage. Would you suggest I hunt the north facing side of the drainage (that from my e-scouting appears to be more timbered), or would you hunt the south facing side? Again, not looking for honey holes, but my GPS runs on datum WGS84 and I prefer degrees/decimals/minutes. Appreciate anything you guys have on that.
Next… caliber. What should I shoot and do I really need a high end scope? Some things I’m looking for… fully custom build, weight under 4lbs that is perfectly balanced and a tack driver all day long, suppressed, hits like the hand of god, extremely limited to zero recoil and under $500. Should I reload? If so… how?
Fitness. I played JV football in high and was actually a pretty big F-cking deal and in extremely good shape. Since then. I let things slide a bit. I’m currently 5’8” and around 264. What do I need to do to be able to go deep, backcountry, OTC, DIY? I’m looking to get way back, where nobody goes. I paid several grand to a bunch of Texans to put me through an elk boot camp. Yeah. You read that right. Texans teaching others out of staters how to hunt elk. Will this boot camp be enough to get me in shape, or should I also supplement with a shake weight and thigh master?
Okay last. Now that I’m gonna be quite a ways into the backcountry, what do I do when I kill one? It could be triple digits or below zero. Do you bone, quarter, hire a packer, get one of those motorized wheelbarrow things that the guy from the Sawtooth used, e-bike, or just sit down and eat it on site?
Thanks for all the help.
Hey, 1 more thing. I’m trying to post something in the Classifieds and can’t. Sup with that?

This pretty much sums it up. Excellent CliffsNotes.

Im looking for a rifle that’s accurate, reliable, aftermarket supplies, less than750$, light, blah blah blah, but I don’t want a tikka or sauer , what do you guys recommend. I prefer a 30 cal mag cartridge since they are the easiest to shoot accurately

I don’t know the most common threads but I know I can answer most of them with one of two statements;

Buy once cry once.

Shot placement is the most important thing.

I, for one, think that in the spirit of Christmas and the beginning of a new year and this thread.......a Dos Perros sequel would be welcomed by the Rokslide community.

I'm an idiot and got my wife pregnant in January-March and our first baby is due in Sept-Nov. and now my wife won't let me go hunting, please help me feel better about my poor life choices.

I can kill 10 deer per year in my home state but I think that western hunters should have to give up their one deer tag per year so that I can hunt public land out west.

I don't want your honey holes, just send me coordinates to a place where I can find a dozen 180" bucks and not see another hunter.

I drew a tag in an area that I know nothing about and I can't be bothered to do any research or scouting, PM all your hard earned knowledge to me.

I'm planning a hunt for my elderly father/ veteran brother/ dying child, do you feel guilty enough yet to share all your hard earned secret hunting spots with me?

Lately it's been, "Help me find a guide/access to private land."

Theirs is nothing more annoying than people asking about caliber types.

Not saying I’ve never helped anyone or asked for help, but these posts always make me roll my eyes a little. Might as well post: looking for free money and hot easy women. It’s kind of a zero sum game.

What???


Of all things, this is what will have your moderator badge revoked.

Lately it's been, "Help me find a guide/access to private land."

Probably fallout from the "Help me find an elk/deer/whatever on public land." After realizing how hard that was they open up the wallet to increase their odds.
